It would be absolutely fair to criticize the F-35 program as exhibit A in how not to run a program.That said, there are basically two other options, suffering similar setbacks, if not worse. The U.S. is largely eating the development cost fuck ups, with perhaps the UK paying a bit as well. For anyone else buying largely off the shelf, it is a good deal and literally the only game in town - su-57 is a dead end and J-20 is not for sale and no one is even attempting to produce a STOVL aircraft of any kind, not even China.
